The Hermitage Bookshop

Super cool bookstore that can be hard to miss if you’re not actively looking for it as it is a bit hidden and on the basement level of a building. If you’re anything like me, you check out any bookstore you can and can spend hours there. I was super stoked to find this place while walking around Cherry Creek. The selection is not that big but they do have a good amount of books I haven’t seen at other shops. The owners are sweet and gave me some interesting explanation of the book I was looking at.

In my opinion, a good book store is inviting and had a wide variety of (preferably older) books. The first editions section is lovely!! So many amazing options it was hard to choose. I particularly loved the around the world section. I'm always searching for those books and they were laid out so wonderfully by country/continent.

A visit to Denver should include a visit to this place! A charming and comfortable space. An excellent choice of books, well curated, nicely presented, easy to browse. Great selection of all genres. Old and new, especially looking for charming vintage or collectibles. An excellent selection of children's books too. this is one of the best shops you'll find!

In a city that moves as quickly as Denver, having an anchor for mental decompression is vital. The Hermitage is a beautifully preserved archive of thought and my favorite place for finding stillness. This shop is not about volume; it is about curation.
